The transfer window has closed but that doesn't mean Premier League and Championship clubs cannot do business between now and the end of the season.

Teams are able to sign players who have previously being unattached, as a number of clubs have done this season such as West Ham United who have today made use of the rule to sign Patrice Evra.

However, as Nigel Adkins looks to secure Hull City's second tier status next season and avoid the drop, could he be tempted to dip into the free agent market?

Here, we look at five options who are currently without a deal.

Yohan Mollo

Yohan Mollo is looking for a new club to spend the rest of the season with following the mutual termination of his contract at Fulham last week.

The winger had struggled to make an impact since arriving at Craven Cottage in summer and despite making six appearances in the opening couple of months of the season, he has not played a minute of first-team action since November.

The Frenchman has struggled to find a home in recent years, with Fulham becoming his eighth club in eight years in the summer, but spells at Monaco, Saint Etienne and Zenit St Petersburg suggest he has talent.

The 28-year-old can play on either wing or as a striker, and is known for his ability to get the ball in the box.

Jan Kirchhoff

Following his release from Sunderland in the summer, Jan Kirchhoff has struggled to convince a club he is worthy of signing.

The midfielder, who won two Bundesliga titles during his time at Bayern Munich, spent 18 months at the Stadium of Light, where he made just 22 appearances through injury.

Kirchhoff was linked with a move to Hannover earlier in the season and with West Ham United just last week. Nevertheless, seven months after his official release from Sunderland he remains without a club.

Philipp Wollscheid

Things haven’t really worked out for the German since leaving Stoke City in the summer. The defender was a regular for the Potters during his time at the Bet365 Stadium, making 45 appearances under Mark Hughes.

However, after an unsuccessful loan spell at Wolfsburg last season, he was allowed to leave the Potteries in favour of a switch to Ligue 1 side Metz, but after failing to make a single appearance his contract was torn up in January.

The centre-back isn’t short of experience, having made over 100 Bundesliga appearances in his career, and acquired two caps for Germany, but it seems he has been unable to settle lately.

Victor Anichebe

Another who was released from Sunderland at the end of last season, Anichebe has recently been made a free agent after being released from Chinese club Beijing Enterprises.

The striker signed a year-long deal with the club in summer following the Black Cats’ relegation from the Premier League, but could only manage two goals in eleven games in the Chinese second division.

The Nigerian international does have extensive Premier League experience following spells at Everton, West Bromwich Albion and the Stadium of Light, but after scoring just 29 career club goals he should not be considered a goal scoring forward.

Carlton Cole

The striker has recently been linked with a move to the KCOM Stadium following his released from Indonesian club Persib Bandung, but he is yet to find a new deal.
